Research indicates seasonal variations in physical activity levels among adults in different climates due to temperature and humidity.

An ageing global population is converging with record-shattering heat - driven by climate change. This article offers a look into scenarios where tragic outcomes could have been avoided with simple actions

By 2050, older adults in Africa are projected to face significantly higher heat exposure due to rapid population growth and climate change, with an increase in extreme heat events. This will heighten health risks and put pressure on local services.

The urgency to address both population ageing and climate change necessitates a rethink and assessment of the impact of climate change on older people.

Regardless of where or when a heat wave strikes, one pattern is a constant: Older adults are the most likely to die from extreme heat, and this crisis will worsen in the coming years.

Over 200 million more elderly people worldwide are expected to face dangerous heat exposure by 2050, compared to now.

Population ageing is expected to lead to significant rises in climate risk because vulnerability rises sharply throughout people's later years. But what if we account for rising longevity? Does this change our understanding how ageing influences risk?

This study investigated the associations of multiple natural hazards with depression among Chinese adults.

This article provides an overview of climate impacts, vulnerabilities, and county-level characteristics, focusing on older adults living in Central Ohio.
